We believe that the Bible is filled with references compelling us to be good stewards of everything that concerns our lives, not the least of which is proper stewardship of finances. Every believer is accountable to God in the area of personal finances, and the Bible gives us clear instructions in this area.
God desires us to be fruitful and prosperous both naturally and spiritually, accordingly He lets us know that His way to financial prosperity and blessing is different than man's way of success, (Ps 1:1-3; Ps 35:27). His ordained way is through obedience to, and proper use of tithes and offerings.
The Gospels contain more warnings concerning the misuse of money than any other singular subject. One in every four verses in Matthew, Mark and Luke deals with money. One in every six verses in the entire New Testament makes some reference to money. Almost half of the parables of Jesus make reference to money and its misuse, particularly in the area of covetousness. Many people in the Bible were shipwrecked spiritually because of the improper use of or desire for money.
